Casey’s Second Act

I hate to open this toxic can of worms again, but Casey Anthony is back in the news (as if we haven’t had enough of her). She’s planning to get baptized soon “to ensure her own salvation so that she’ll see her daughter again someday,” Naturally the snarkies have their knives out, still tarring her with the guilty verdict they think the jury of her peers should have given her. Those who had her pegged as a murdering mom from day one seem unwilling to believe that her current desire for redemption is sincere. Now I’m not at all a religious person, but come on, shouldn’t Casey be allowed to make herself right with God? Maybe she deserves the benefit of the doubt on this one. I mean, when it comes to an individual’s relationship with the Lord she believes in, who are we to judge? I know I’m gonna get some brickbats hurled at me for this one, but I’m just saying.
